RE: Just as seen on tv

You're welcome! It just means that because you're using an APS-C camera (cropped sensor) it 'zooms in' - only uses the central part of what the lens can produce - so a 300mm looks the same as a 450mm would on a full frame camera. For Nikon you times is by 1.5 for whatever the focal length is!

Sort:  

So the same lens (my Tamron in this case) on a full frame camera will have actually 300mm?

Yep! That's it!

Hmm... learned something new :)
